Few comments based on my GTS: Sapphire would look excellent in the Cyprus sun, failing that for me Midnight blue rather than Volcano, which I initially wanted to go with - colour is very personal however.

Aux heating not required then maybe GT heated wheel also not needed (cooled would be good if an option)

Never really knew what the ioniser did and colour keys and pouch very expensive compared to fitting yourself for €20. Maybe think about the collapsible spate wheel too, which ic often forgotten.

8-way seats I was advised when buying are a GTS thing that is best left without upgrade, 18 way gives the seat memory and steering wheel electrical adjustment. I am very happy with the 8 way + seat memory. The 18 and 8-way seats are physically the same, just less adjustment, fine for me.

As others have said the base system is pretty good and when I compared to Bose decided it was not worth it, particularly if you like to hear the PSE

I put a relatively low spec onto my car and I so far I don’t miss not adding anything - I did not want air suspension on GTS, however I do think the lower suspension would look better to lower the stance further, handing on this car is completely amazing, the faster you drive the smaller and more agile the car feels

Sport design mirrors in exterior colour and side blades are a great choice, however do look to get PPF coating would be my recommendation - at time of delivery if possible.
Cheers for the welcome.

I'm glad I joined this forum before putting in my order. I'm aware you can change the spec even after placing the order and up to the point where the car goes into production , but I will feel more comfortable knowing I got everything as I wanted right from the start.

Auxiliary heating will go since everyone seems to agree with this.

Can you please clarify what you meant you can get the colour keys for €20?? Can you get the normal key coloured or did you just mean the pouch?

At the moment I'm leaning towards skipping on the Bose. In my 996 turbo I find myself turning the radio down, just to enjoy the exhaust, when going on drives.

PPF and maybe a ceramic coating do sound like a good idea to protect the paint.

Did you get any idea on delivery dates?

This is the exact spec I ordered.

Delivery time is a bit unclear at the moment but quoted estimate of November. Dealer said will have a clearer picture once the order is on its way.

I have a question, appreciate if anyone can help.

I wanted to order the smocking package to close the gap on the console however I had read somewhere in this forum that this will delete the 2 usb slots in the back row.

Does this still apply for the 2020 GTS models? Dealer couldn't really answer with certainty. I believe this was the 1st time they heard this.

Popular internet myth; my 2016 GTS had full smoker pack and 2 x USB ports in the back (although I can’t confirm 2020 spec - or Cyprus spec! )

My 2020 GTS has the smokers pack and two C-type USB ports in the rear under the air vents:

Thanks. Initially read the sticky in the Order forum which stated:
"Smoking package A weird one for the non smokers but mainly adds a cover to the Ash/Coin tray in the centre console (as well as adding 2 cigarette lighters for the 12V ports) and generally looks nicer. But be aware that it also now deletes the 2 usb ports in the rear for another ashtray and cigarette lighter."

I'm still sceptic because I've noticed a couple of differences between UK and CY. I hope the dealer can clarify this to be 100% sure.

This pic is from the configurator in my country.

It's too dark to tell.

I do not see the twin C-type USB ports below the air vents. I would ask your Porsche dealer to clarify.
